Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality: Explode the Myths, Heal the Church
by Jack Rogers
$17.95 Paperback

Evangelical theologian and former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Jack Rogers argues unequivocally for equal rights in the church and in society for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality describes Rogers' own change of mind and heart on the issue; it charts the church's well-documented history of using biblical passages to oppress marginalized groups; it argues for a Christ-centered reading of Scripture; it debunks oft-repeated stereotypes about gays and lesbians; and it concludes with ideas for how the church can heal itself and move forward again.

by J. Neil Alexander
$10.95 Paperback

In this thoughtful and timely book, Bishop Alexander explores his journey through the theological, scriptural, and pastoral aspects of the questions surrounding homosexuality and the Christian faith. Writing in the weeks after the General Convention of the Episcopal Church approved the appointment of the church's first openly gay bishop, Bishop Alexander offers a personal view of his changing outlook — from exclusion to acceptance — on this important issue. This Far by Grace is a vital resource for discussion and reflection by individuals, parishes, and dioceses.
